We generally expect local_irq_save() and local_irq_restore() to be paired and sanely nested, and so local_irq_restore() expects to be called with irqs disabled. Thus, within local_irq_restore() we only trace irq flag changes when unmasking irqs. This means that a sequence such as: | local_irq_disable(); | local_irq_save(flags); | local_irq_enable(); | local_irq_restore(flags); ... is liable to break things, as the local_irq_restore() would mask irqs without tracing this change. Similar problems may exist for architectures whose arch_irq_restore() function depends on being called with irqs disabled. We don't consider such sequences to be a good idea, so let's define those as forbidden, and add tooling to detect such broken cases. This patch adds debug code to WARN() when raw_local_irq_restore() is called with irqs enabled. As raw_local_irq_restore() is expected to pair with raw_local_irq_save(), it should never be called with irqs enabled. To avoid the possibility of circular header dependencies between irqflags.h and bug.h, the warning is handled in a separate C file. The new code is all conditional on a new CONFIG_DEBUG_IRQFLAGS symbol which is independent of CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS. As noted above such cases will confuse lockdep, so CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCKDEP now selects CONFIG_DEBUG_IRQFLAGS.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
